Would you like to know what it is like working with exotic sea creatures on a daily basis? This excursion begins early in the morning and gives you insight into the world of a marine specialist. Touch, feed, and observe some of Hawaii’s most amazing marine animals and gain deep insight into the ocean, coral reefs, and aquatic life.

The Dolphin Quest organization promotes “ocean literacy” and strives to educate people about the complexities and the beauty of aquatic ecosystems. An aquarist will share his or her morning with you and teach you all about the animals you see and about how you can make a positive impact on the oceanic environment. You will get the chance to examine and handle unique marine species, such as sea cucumbers, tropical fish, starfish, and other colorful organisms. Watch how interesting animals feed and learn about their cousins who live on Oahu’s shores and in the ocean at large. This is a great opportunity to learn more about animals you can only observe when snorkeling or diving. You will also learn about what it takes to be a marine specialist and how you can explore this field of study as a career or as a hobby.

Your family and/or your friends can share in this remarkable encounter and deepen their knowledge of the aquatic world. This is the perfect excursion for those already interested in marine biology and for those who never cease to be amazed at nature’s splendid creations. Get firsthand experience of Oahu’s marine life and begin your day on an encounter with beautiful marine creatures.
